i agree with the other wise and wonderful posters that perhaps it would be best to clarify the relationship status. i think it may not Help anyone in the long run to stay in a confused situation. i am not sure if she was wrong about this since you weren't in a relationship officially although she perhaps could already know you had feeling for her. Then again maybe she didn't know that and this was truly just a friendly conversation. i think being Honest is the best option overall at least i Hope so. So Sorry about this. Please do not give up in general. Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @BermudaRectangle, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
